Who Believes That?

2 Chronicles 6:18 KJV

But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built!

After Solomon had finished the Temple and had prepared it for service he considered all that had been done, looked at the gold laced edifice, and said, "Who really believes God will live here?"

·         All of the effort

·         All of the teamwork

·         All of the preparation and

·         All of the gold

Paled in comparison to the magnificence of God. All the gold in the planet could not reflect the glory that is God's.

And so we learn a powerful truth; not to place our hopes in the work of man. This is not to say man must not work, but that man must never place His eternal hope in that work.

God did in fact come to dwell among men. The One whom the heavens could not contain “tabernacled” with us in the Person of Jesus Christ.

And it is in Him we must place our hope.
